Well, I did a thing and made a Mastodon. I'll do the verification thing later tonight probably. Still going to be maintaining this diary of course, I am not really well versed in social media.
Otherwise a nothing day. Just worked. I did buy a PSP, they're surprisingly cheap (about $80) and apparently trivial to hack, so that'll be fun to use. I haven't played a ton of FFXIV, just haven't had the drive or the focus. Really I kinda wanna just play more rhythm games rn. I haven't yet, of course, but I do want to.
Update 10/20: I wound up just deleting the Mastodon account. I was barely using it and I really just don't have an interest in social media. Which is kinda sucky as it can be a really good networking tool, but I have no desire to use it. The problem with social media isn't the platforms people use, it's not even really the people who use it. It's just that controversy sells, and when you have a site where anyone can say whatever, then the most popular posts are always going to be "thing that makes people mad" and "person responding to thing that makes people mad". Idk I don't really think I need to like, justify myself to anyone. Social media is just not my thing, and even reddit, something that I used for probably over a decade, is something that I can only think of in a negative light. Reddit is maybe more extreme than Twitter when it comes to being a hivemind of negativity.
